This framework is used to lay out the timing for established goals and activities.Use star, circle, triangle, and/or other AutoShapes to signify a noteworthy event or activity. Use lines for spans of activity. It is usually better to use a wider line for this type of chart: a 4-point line usually works out well, whether projecting the presentation or printing it out. See the tutorial for more information about how to use this framework. Each of the "time" segments is exactly the same size. They are actually rectangles, not lines, so that a section may be colored for an added layer of information.
